I haven't been on in a while. My computer bit the dust and my little boy had been real sick for a few weeks. After he got out of the hospital, I started playing catch up to get everything caught up for winter. Including rotating the food storage. While I was at Cincinnati children's, a case worker had came in and gave me a list of pantries in my area that don't base their services on income. You have to pay a small amount to go to these places($2-$5) & you can go weekly, no questions asked. There are 2 close to me. They sale things super cheap. In one trip to each ($6 total) I was able to get coffee, sugar,flour, cooking oils as well as canned meats, fruits and veggies. As well as fresh fruits, breads milk
Almost $100 in stuff, for $6!!! Look around in your area for these pay pantries.the economy sucks for us all. Every little bit helps. Lots of love positive energy and prayers to all.
